Re: [New Sony Vaio Pro] Wifi Issue!

Same problem here, unfortunately Sony Poland does not seem to acknowledge the problem (they insist it is my internet service provider even though I told them the problem persits using other routers and ISPs). Time will tell, but releasing a product with such a bug seriously undermined my belief in this company.

Re: [New Sony Vaio Pro] Wifi Issue!

One exception was Intel WiFi: Sony has no driver update at of this writing, so we downloaded the latest drivers for the Intel Wireless-N 7260 direct from Intel's website and got much more stable wireless connections as a result. Before the Intel wireless update, we noted the 2.4GHz channel sometimes had an intermittent connection to our router and on the 5GHz band it sometimes lost the connection. Cycling airplane mode using the Windows Charms wireless control caused a blue screen error, which was shocking. After the Intel update, WiFi works perfectly.

But you have to do it manually; if you do it via either the intel utility that automatically checks whether your driver is up to date, or via the properties on the adapter, it says it already has the most recent driver (16.0.1) BUT! That is a lie and it does not.

Last week we submitted an escalation to engineering regarding these wifi concerns. Engineering is currently investigating the issue. I will post any updates to the situation as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Re: [New Sony Vaio Pro] Wifi Issue!

Tried the latest driver 16.0.5 from Intel.com 2 weeks ago and the Wi-Fi connection still keeps dropping every five minutes. Contacted Sony Support 2 days ago and I'm really hoping them to give me a solution that actually works.
